Notice the promotion of Aviva in this Charities Trust video https://youtu.be/YqvWHXqn63c

From the FT article: "Aviva chief Mark Wilson spins off in unexpected directions"

“I do turnrounds,” Mark Wilson said shortly after his appointment as Aviva’s chief executive in 2013. It was just as well given the to-do list — in the wake of Andrew Moss’s unpopular tenure, capital needed boosting, costs needed cutting and the share price decline needed reversing. And do it all he did.

But after spending five years currying favour with investors, Wilson has just performed a less positive turnround. He has caused anger among investors, first with his aggressive plan to redeem “irredeemable” preference shares, and then with a bizarre decision to take a board seat at rival asset manager BLACKROCK.
